So this is the motherboard i purchased Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2 . The specification under BIOS option from the website says
This was the bios settings before i installed mint- http://i.imgur.com/S8AoOBv.jpg [If i remember well i changed "Storage Boot Option Control" from Legacy to 'UEFI only' before installing.] First time i set the HDD to GPT partition table, then rebooted and installed and choose these partitions via the installed 1.EFI System Partition 2. Swap 3. / (Root) 4. /home and proceeded with the install. I got a "Force UEFI installation" in the next dialog for which i chose "Continue" option and installed Mint.1 x 64 Mbit flash
Use of licensed AMI UEFI BIOS
PnP 1.0a, DMI 2.7, WfM 2.0, SM BIOS 2.7, ACPI 5.0
Code: Select all
cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size
Code: Select all
dpkg -l | grep grub-efi
Code: Select all
dpkg -l | grep grub-pc
ii grub-pc-bin 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.2 amd64 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS binaries)
Code: Select all
ls /sys/firmware/efi/
No contents in /boot/efi either.
So it looks like it is installed in legacy mode. Why wasn't it installed in UEFI mode ? how to install it in UEFI mode?
PS: will be mult-ibooting with GPT regardless of the mode.
